Following WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin’s 8th round stoppage of Curtis Stevens on Saturday night, several insiders from ringside chimed in with their praise towards the Kazakhstani star.

Inside of the Madison Square Garden’s Theater, Golovkin dropped Stevens with a swift left hook in the second round and dished out much more punishment in the following frames before the Brooklyn fighter’s corner elected to stop the action after the eighth.

For HBO analyst Jim Lampley, who called his fourth Golovkin fight last night, he revealed what it’s like watching such a calculated stylist from ringside.

“I thought it was a systematic, effective, technically-pure beat down,” Lampley stated. “It’s always amazing to watch someone with destroyer power who knows everything about the craft and how to use it.”

Respected sportscaster Brian Kenny, now working with Showtime, expressed how he was seemingly taken aback by Stevens’ gritty effort throughout the chaotic eight rounds of action.
